Re: type aliases

You probably should define your domain like this:

   CREATE DOMAIN myvarchar varchar(42);

I can create an alias of a type like:

CREATE DOMAIN myvarchar varchar;

But I can't declare a myvarchar with a variable size, eg "mycolumn myvarchar(42)" and from what I've read this is the way it DOMAIN is supposed to work so I can't do it that way.

Is there a way to define myvarchar the way I want to? Can I use CREATE TYPE and just mirror the declaration of the underlying type?

Thanks
